The capacity of a runway system represents a bottleneck at many international airports. The current practice at airports is to land approaching aircraft on a first-come, first-served basis. An active rescheduling of aircraft landing times increases runway capacity or reduces delays. The problem...

The "Capacitated lot sizing problem with setup carry-over" is based ort the well known "Capacitated lot sizing problem" and incorporates the possibility of preserving a setup-state from a period to the following. Sox and Gao [2] decompose their formulation of the first one (GCLP1) by Lagrangian...

When scheduling a round robin tournament (RRT) a Home-Away-Pattern (HAP) set defines for each team i and each period p whether i plays at home or away in p. So far the complexity of the decision problem whether a RRT can be arranged based on a given HAP set or not is open. We give a necessary...

A single round robin tournament (RRT) consists of a set T of n teams (n even) and a set P of n - 1 periods. The teams have to be scheduled such that each team plays exactly once against each other team and such that each team plays exactly once per period. In order to establish fairness among...
